The below table lists items that are considered electronic-waste (e-Waste), which are also classified as hazardous wastes (HW) in California state law, and therefore cannot directly be placed in the garbage

There is still a way to dispose of these items because many of these HW items are recyclable on campus and in Yolo County.

On campus, the R4 Recycling Program has various multi-bin locations where anyone can drop off cell phones, batteries, CD’s, and inkjet cartridges. To find locations on campus, visit the Multi-Bin site here .

Other items such as computers, televisions and other electronic devices can be taken to the Bargain Barn, on campus, to be resold.

Yolo County also offers drop-off locations in special containers at the landfill, motor oil recycling locations, battery recycling, and bimonthly household hazardous waste drop-off days. Please visit Yolo County’s recycling website www.yolocounty.org.

For further information about the state law which prohibits improper disposal of HW, please call (800) 728-6942.
